From the Paper:

"In any environment there are the good and bad qualities. The cons of team work do exist, but most of them are due to more personal, selfish reason. One major con is that in a team environment you do not have as much self recognition as you would if only one person completed the task. For selfish reasons some people crave the recognition of completing tasks a lone rather than in a team setting. They may believe that they might get promoted faster completing things a lone and getting all of the recognition rather than sharing it with a team."
